Tater tots are a U.S. invention, known for their crispy exterior and small, cylindrical shape. They are traditionally deep-fried but I wanted to make a healthier version so I opted to bake them. A cross between french fries and hash browns, they are a perfect way to mix up how you serve your family potatoes.

I now make eggnog ice cream every holiday just to have these ice cream sandwiches. The combination of eggnog and ginger is a match made in heaven.

Eggnog only comes out once a year so I try to incorporate it into my holiday treats. A few years ago, I made eggnog ice cream and it has now become a holiday tradition.

These light, melt-in-your-mouth cookies are bite-sized and dainty but the almond flavor packs a punch. When I was a kid, my mom made these every Christmas in the shape of Christmas trees, decorated with red and green sprinkles.
